[Download Mastercam 9.1 Full Crack Software

I'm trying to do a open pocket tool path in mastercam 2020 and instead of the tool starting at the open end of the pocket, the tool starts at the middle of the pocket, I have all the parameters selected just like previous versions put the end mill insist on starting in the middle of the pocket, any help would be appreciated.
Lack of training is the single biggest issue....I'm sorry but videos, book and online tutorials don't cut it my my book. There is NO substitution for a student sitting in class with an instructor going through use, while the trainee gets hands on experience digging through the menu and finding things that right then and there, they can query the instructor on and actually learn how to use.
Instead, people riddle the internet with blogs and other crap going on about how this doesn't do what I want or this doesn't work or the such.....when spending time with a live person would answer any question, generally in a few minutes.
Having been on the front lines of people buying the software, not taking a moment of REAL training and a week later not having a clue of how to do the simplest task and relying on Tech Support to now training them....it's not a prescription for success.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking what IHS, Colin and other online sites provide be it video or book form, they can most certainly be helpful. I'm just saying that a person right in front of you is FAR better for learning on the go.
Chain your 3 sides leaving the open end, pick your tool, set it to Open Pocket, I use the Open Pocket method, if you do, your roughing options are unavailable, if you don't use the open pocket method, your roughing patterns are available BUT depending on geometry shape, they are cases where it will start inside....think an hourglass shape, where is narrows the pocket down, that can cause issues, when it does, 2D dynamic is a better option
Before submitting my earlier post, I made a toolpath, basically identical to what you said, and it worked, but didn't cut the whole pocket. I didn't spend a lot of time, so maybe the shape of that pocket just didn't lend itself to that method. (you're the "old_bear", so I always try so soak up the techniques you post on here) I have had decent success using the dynamic method I posted though.
I find for open pockets that area, dynamic and peel are my go-to paths. The pocket path feeds back and on small pockets is no biggie. However, larger pockets I want to rapid back. Dynamic is hands down my favorite but I also find that the dynamic motion at times increases cycle time so I use area. It all depends. I also use Peel set to traditional to rough open pockets with out plowing in the middle.
We have a network license for mastercam. Due to the whole corona situation, I would like to set it up where a user could access it from home through VPN. However, the program is not detecting the network license through the VPN. I found a few threads regarding this situation and they suggested making modifications to the nethasp.ini file. I tried that but I'm still running into the same problem.
Not an IT expert by any stretch...but having a well-working network is certainly a pre-requisite. Can you ping the remote license machine from home? My VPN is a 'gateway to gateway' so may cause things to be different than other VPN setups.
I 'simply' add the IP address of the remote server on my home PC nethasp.ini file. (located in D:\Program Files\Mastercam 2020\Mastercam in my case). Not 100 % certain...but I'd make sure you place the entry in the right section of the file...
In addition - I'm not showing that I had to open anything up on the firewalls we've got setup here...there are hasp app permissions for a domain network checked...but i don't know that we had to manually set any of that.
Firewall doesn't seem to be blocking anything at the office. I just uploaded the default nethasp along with the custom one I modified to access the office network. Maybe the formatting is wrong somewhere?
I am having some issues with Mastercam at work. I am working on engraving a cylindrical part. I drew my art work in Adobe Illustrator and imported it into Mastercam, positioned everything where I needed it to be, and created my toolpaths from the imported geometry.
The first op of the program is to mill a .003 deep pocket in the negative space around the engraving art. My boss has asked me to use a small center drill and use the web of the tool for this step (we kept breaking small flat endmills trying to accomplish this operation so we switched to the centerdrill for more rigidity). I was able to pull this off on a larger part successfully. I am in the process of creating the same art work on a smaller cylinder. When I create my toolpaths from the geometry and try to post the first op pocket mastercam freezes.
My boss is on my xxxx to get this figured out and get the code posted. We have orders for this product waiting to be filled. I have no idea what to do. I have been trying for a few days to get it to post. This morning I came in and tried to post it again, the program has been unresponsive for hours. I am going to keep letting it go until I hear a better suggestion from someone else.
I am in Mastercam X5. Trying to post code for a Haas VF2. I'm not sure what you mean by what toolpath I am trying to use. I am trying to create a pocket. I cannot, unfortunately, post the file for you guys to look at. It is all proprietary.
So are you getting a toolpath to generate successfully? If you are able to get a toolpath to create, and backplot/verify successfully, then it shouldn't be much of an issue to post process the code output.
For X5, I believe the post processor installation has a "default" haas post that comes with the installation. Otherwise, the Generic Fanuc 4X Mill Post will post code that will run on the Haas, no problem.
To select a different post at the time of posting, press CTRL + ALT + SHIFT. (you might also have to add + "P"). That will activate the "Select Post" button, and allow you to pick a different post processor.
So, I got the issue resolved. I had to turn every bit of available hard drive space I had on my computer to virtual ram and try changing my post processor. It is really, really bizzare to me that after a year and a half of doing this, I had to change my processor to get this one program to post. Weird. Thanks everyone for the input. Sincerely appreciate it.
My mastercam 2019 is super slow at opening files. I done a little test and opened a file on our wire guys computer (he's running 2019 as well). It only took 55 seconds to open. His computer is pretty old and not nearly as good as mine. The only difference I can think of other than that is that he's not running windows 10.
The same file on my computer took 2 min and 35 sec. Here's my computer information. I've tried everything I can think of to solve this issue. This file was only 43,818,kb. I have some files that are much larger that take 20 minutes plus to open. It's getting embarrassing, whenever I have my boss and a customer standing over my shoulder watching me open a file and they have to take a coffee break while the file opens. Pllleeeaaaassssseeee help.
OK, I tried opening the file with the shading turned off and the chord height set to .002. It shaved off 5 seconds. This is extremely frustrating. I guess I'm just going to have to deal with it until mastercam fixes this HUGE problem. I'm sure there's plenty of other people out there using windows 10 now.
I'm also running a solid state hard drive. The computer they got me was a lot of money. I was complaining all the time about my old one taking forever to do everything so they bought me a really good one. We talked to our reseller and gave that information to our IT guy and he ordered it. It's so frustrating that it's not much better than what I had. Spaceclaim works much faster but mastercam is still performing poorly.
Is the file you're opening actually on your hard drive, or are you opening from a network location? Have you tried deleting or moving your config files and letting Mastercam recreate the defaults, and then attempted to open? (C:\Users\yourusernamehere\Documents\my mcam2019\CONFIG)
What kind of solid state hard drive? The words 'SSD' do not always mean lightning fast depending on what was purchased and how it is interfaced. If you are happy with file open times in other softwares though, I would consider this the least likely culprit.
I did try saving the file I've been using for testing as a Parasolid, I then opened the Parasolid in mastercam and it opened in 19 seconds, a huge difference. It was taking almost 2 minutes to open. I then resaved that file as a mastercam file and opened it and it took only 16 seconds. So I went back to the original file that had been taking 2 minutes to open and deleted all of the solid history and resaved it. I then opened it and it took 2:45 seconds. (WORSE) I'm so confused as to what to do now.
I did try setting my config identical to the wire operators config, page by page, and it made absolutely no difference. The only other thing I can think of is that I had the beta version installed on my computer and he didn't. I may have screwed up the install also. It's just not as easy as it use to be to do and install and migrate all of your info from the previous version. I still have my mastercam 2018 on my computer as well. Could someone explain how to reinstall 2019 and migrate all of my settings flawlessly. I'm not sure if I need to go to this extreme or not. I don't want to waste time. What do you guys think?
